Microsoft Reactor

Annual series of events bringing together top developers and startups to get in the ring and compete on offering the best solution for our chosen urban challenge.

2021 Challenge - Urban Cooling
The world is hot, and cities are even hotter! With temperatures rising everywhere and cities leading the trend, we must ride the tide and use all means at our disposal to help bring on urban cool. Using data, grid optimization, multiple use of existing energy sources, shade management etc., we can bring temperatures down and enjoy our city streets.

What is the plan?
The RUMBLE event will be held in three sessions. Four teams (can be a single developer/ team/ startup) will be chosen to get in the ring and impress the judges under a very tight schedule with their ideal solution.
